Spending a week down by the beach has reminded me why I always crave the sound of the waves crashing against the sand. The calmest, peaceful sound of the healing blue waves has shifted my thoughts into a state of simplicity. Enjoying all that life has to offer often means freeing yourself from all worry and responsibility, and reflecting on the simple pleasures of life. There are moments of peace that you feel while watching the waves crash against the shore, it's a moment of complete serenity. Undoubtedly there is no better medicine than the ocean.

How to detach and heal by the breeze.

The Waves

Gently crashing against the sand, I wake up to the sound of the waves each morning. Waking up naturally by the comforting sound of the ocean's natural motion, I start each of my days off on a positive correlation of the waves reaching the shore -- I am reaching for a new opportunity to find my inner peace.

The Sand

Tiny particles dusted in tan, gray and black fill the spaces in between my toes. I crunch down onto the soft sand, creating peaks and valleys in the sand. The sand is endless and bountiful. Concentrated solely on the tiny particles, I loose myself as my mind freely flows with all of the sand particles.

The Sunset

A beautiful masterpiece of neon colors splash the night without effort every night. My Nana always said, "Everyone should watch the sunset each night, no matter how many times they have before." Moments of appreciation, gazing up at the sky forces us to recognize that our thoughts cannot be trapped within us alone. The sunset symbolizes freedom and hopes that one day we can paint our own real life masterpieces of happiness.
